INTRODUCTION

After hurricanes Katrina and Wilma last year, every Floridian realizes that, although most of us prepared somewhat, we didn't prepare quite well enough last year. One of the many things we must prepare is a way to stay in touch. Those TV audio feeds on our transistor radios really helped!

I SURVICED HURRICANE WILMA 2005 buttons (pictured), T-shirts, magnets, caps, and lots more.

Plus stuff for hurricanes Katrina, Rita, et al.

Just about every radio station has some type of weather forecasts, but some stations have also arranged to simulcast (rebroadcast the audio component of) TV broadcasts in case of hurricanes or other emergencies. These are listed below, by affiliated TV station. (Some of the stations haven't announced their affiliation yet. These will be added later.)

When a hurricane is coming, you might want to print this out in LARGE TYPE, to refer to when you're without power and listening to a portable radio by candlelight!

Emergency Crank Radio & Cell Charger

Emergency Crank Radio & Cell Charger

This versatile, all-in-one compact radio needs no electricity to bring in local AM/FM radio and shortwave broadcasts from around the world, and has a cell phone charger, flashlight, and emergency siren built right in. It contains a rechargeable battery pack that powers up in minutes through the radio’s side hand crank (just 90 seconds of cranking gives you up to an hour of use). Also operates on three AA batteries (not included), and has input for AC adaptor (adaptor not included). Has a rugged ABS plastic water-resistant exterior, fine control four-band tuning, rotating antenna, 2” speaker with excellent sound quality, and carrying handle. Includes an earphone jack (earphones not included), shortwave listening guide, and nylon travel case. (6¾ x 6½ x 2½”; 26 oz) (From the makers of Grundig)



"There are many silly superstitions about lightning, and as a result many people - maybe even you - are terrified of it. You shouldn't worry. Thanks to modern science we now know that lightning is nothing more than huge chunks of electricity that can come out of the sky, anytime, anywhere, and kill you." Dave Barry
